Bala Turkvizyon’15: Azerbaijan Has Won the 1st Bala Turkvizyon Song Contest

Nuray & Ehmedin win for Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has won the 1st edition of the Bala Turkvizyon Song Contest which was held this evening in Istanbul, Turkey.

Azerbaijan was one of thirteen countries competing in the first contest tonight, they were represented by a duet made up of Nuray and Ehmedin. The duet were selected to represent Azerbaijan in the contest last week after both topping the sms voting in the Azeri selection process. The song is called “Uşaqlıq illəri” (Childhood).

This is the second time that Azerbaijan has won an inaugural Turkvizyon event, they won the first edition of the Turkvizyon Song Contest in 2013. Azerbaijan’s victory in the contest is however controversial due to the fact that one of their participants is just 5 years old and was allowed to participate despite the rules stating participants should be over 8.

The full result has not been released by the organisers of the contest, the results that are known are as follows:

Azerbaijan – 115 points

Kazakhstan – 113 points

Georgia – 112 points

Kyrgyzstan – 111 points

Ukraine – 105 points

Romania – 102 points

Albania – 100 points

Gagauzia – 98 points

Turkey – 95 points

Kosovo – 93 points

Belarus – 90 points

And I really hope they will include a 2nd semi for Turkvizyon next year when the russian regions come back instead of a Bala Turkvizyon (that they can hold every 2 or3 years maybe, if they really wish to)
